Würzburg is
a city in the region of Franconia,
Northern Bavaria,
Germany. Located on the Main River, it is the capital of the Regierungsbezirk Lower
Franconia. The regional dialect is Franconian.
Würzburg
lies at about equal distance (120 kilometer, or 75 miles) between Frankfurt am
Main and Nuremberg.
Although the city of Würzburg is not part of the Landkreis Würzburg, (i.e. the
county or district of Würzburg), it is the seat of the
district's administration. The city's population was 124,698 as of 31 December
2013.
Marienkapelle
Right on the market square is the giant red and white
Mary’s Church (or Marienkapelle).
In a city known for baroque architecture, the
gothic Marienkapelle with its vaulted ceiling stands out as being unique.
The Old Town Pedestrian Zone
Most of Wurzburg’s old city is a car-free pedestrian zone.
One of the great things to do in Wurzburg is stopping into the stores or
pulling up a chair at a sidewalk café for some people watching.
The Residenz
The Royal Residenz in Wurzburg
is one of the finest royal palaces in all of Europe. This UNESCO World Heritage
Site was extensively damaged during World War II, but has painstakingly
restored to its former glory. Contemporary to the palaces in Vienna, many of
the same themes and decorating styles flow through (including the obligatory
Asian-inspired green lacquer room). The Residenz can be visited on a
self-guided walking tour, or with a guided walking tour which allows access to
some of the other apartments (including the blue drawing room, the yellow
living room and the corner chamber – all highlights of my visit). The massive
“four continents” fresco is one of the largest ever created.
In my opinion I think this city is very cool!Because there have a lot of things to do. I never been there before, but one day I will visit this wonderful city.
